The Ministry of Defence's former Long Marston depot is south-east of the village.
Since rail privatisation in the mid-1990s, the former MoD depot has been used as a storage area by the rolling stock companies (ROSCOs) for out-of-lease railway rolling stock. The site is secure and secluded to minimise the risk of vandalism.

The Stratford on Avon and Broadway Railway Society was based at the former MoD depot but is now (November 2011) moving its stock to other locations.The depot's owners, St. Modwen Properties, along with The Bird Group of Companies Ltd, propose to redevelop the site as Middle Quinton Eco-town.
